Quick tips for Lens Care

February 4th, 2008 LadyJava

I remember back when I was growing up and how I hated to wear my glasses. So when I managed to get into junior college and as a present for doing so well in my “O” levels, my dad brought me to the optician to get a pair of contact lenses. I was the most excited 16 years old I tell you!

However, being young and a bit careless, I contracted conjunctivitis in my first year of wearing it and had to forgo the lenses and reverted back to my glasses. Oh well, such is life. However, here’s some quick tips for lens care in case you are interested:

Thoroughly wash and rinse your hands with soap and rinse them until there is no soapy feelings left before handling your contact lenses

Always apply and remove your lenses one at a time in the same manner, to avoid mixing them up

Never use anything to clean your lenses except for the recommended multipurpose solutions

Never sleep without removing your lenses

Clean and disinfect your lenses every time you remove them

Keep your multipurpose solution bottles tightly capped when not in use

Make sure the tips of your solutions bottles never touch any other surface besides the cap (that includes your fingers, eyes or lenses)
